Storm doors are fairly common sight on home exteriors these days, but many are confused as to their function they serve and the advantages they offer. To demystify these helpful home additions, here’s a brief overview of storm doors.
Storm doors were originally designed to protect flimsy or delicate home entry doors from inclement weather by adding an extra barrier to your home’s exterior. The storm door design provides ventilation without exposing your home to the outdoors, typically utilizing a mesh screen in part of the door or across the entire door. Modern storm doors still maintain some of these elements, but are specifically engineered with other factors in mind.
Storm doors are now designed to be energy efficient. Old storm doors used to be very cheaply made from thin metals that did not provide much insulation. Today, storm door frames are made from aluminum, steel, fiberglass, or wood, which are all good insulators. Many storm doors also utilize low-E glass or glazing to limit heat transfer through any glass incorporated in the door’s design.
Modern storm doors are also designed to provide additional security. Security storm doors are designed with heavy-duty aluminum or solid-wood core door frames. Many storm doors feature aluminum bars, extra secure deadbolts, and are installed in a way that deters break-ins and intrusions. Storm doors that are designed for security may seem less stylish, but provide much more protection than other storm doors.

If you’re looking to add a functional outdoor living area to your home, you can’t go wrong with high-quality Dream Deck 4000 vinyl decking. The Dream Deck series from Thermal Industries, Inc. is perfect for homeowners looking for a beautiful deck without the hassle and maintenance requirements of natural wood. Let’s take a look at some of the key features you’re sure to love in Dream Deck 4000 vinyl decking.
1. Natural Vy-Grain Finish
One of the most highly sought-after features of a natural wood deck is the texture and appearance of a natural wood grain. But your enjoyment of a wood deck will be short lived, since they will rapidly deteriorate and lose that freshly stained sparkle. Dream Deck 4000 decking systems utilize the Vy-Grain textured wood grain finish, giving it a real wood look with the durability of a vinyl deck.
2. Superior Fit and Finish
Another downfall of natural wood decks is the appearance of fasteners, brackets, and unsightly building materials. These components detract from the beauty of what could be a serene, peaceful deck. Dream Deck 4000 decking is designed to seem hardware free—all you’ll see is beautiful decking, not distracting hardware.
3. Virtually Maintenance Free
Finally, natural wood decking requires annual staining and sealing, and will even require replacement after just a few years of use. Instead of wasting all that hard work, invest in a long-lasting vinyl Dream Deck system. These decks won’t decay, mold, or rot, and you only need to clean it when it looks dirty! It’s also totally non-toxic, insect resistant, and 100% recyclable.
